Welcome to the first-ever series on Young and Getting Wiser called Cultivating Connection! In this four-episode series, tune in as we dive into topics surrounding the power of connection each week. Every episode will expand on ways that we can enhance our interpersonal connections in life. We’ll start with Connection to Self (this episode!) then move into Connection to Others, then Connection to the World, and finish off with conversations around Maintaining Your Connection. ✍🏼
In this first episode about Connecting to Yourself, I discuss common ways in which people find themselves, managing things that dim our self-connection (such as toxic productivity and burnout), and practical ways to channel a deeper relationship with yourself that will help elevate your interactions with everything around you!
My advice is based on things that have worked for me in the past, things that have worked for friends and family, and general pieces of knowledge pulled from psychology and awareness. Staying present and creating intentional space for what we already have is truly a tough skill, and I’m super excited to talk about this and help us all work on this journey to deeper, more fulfilling connection with the world around us ☺️
